Christmas Trees From LV Municipalities



Above is a slideshow of the municipal Christmas trees in 18 different Lehigh Valley communities. Where did I miss? Which ones are your favorites? My two favorites are Nazareth and Tatamy. To see where each tree is from, click on the green rectangle in the lower left corner.

Updated 8:55 am: "The 'green rectangle' you refer to is actually white, until it is clicked. Then it turns green. Took me a little time looking for a green rectangle before finally figuring out you were referring to the white comment box."

    Stop this wasteful tradition before it's too late.

    "American household Christmas lights, a favorite holiday tradition, use up more electricity than some poorer countries -- such as El Salvador or Ethiopia -- do in a year.

    Bright lights strung on American trees, rooftops and lawns account for 6.63 billion kilowatt hours of electricity consumption every year, according to a recent blog post by the Center for Global Development.

    That's more than the national electricity consumption of many developing countries. El Salvador for one, uses 5.35 billion kilowatt hours, while Ethiopia consumes 5.30 billion and Tanzania 4.81 billion."

    Hey Blue,
    You are a buzz kill, Dude. Go to one of those undeveloped countries and help them get developed. It's people like you that would outlaw all lighted displays at Christmas (or would you prefer, "non-denominational winter observance?).

    Bernie,
    You might want to help your readers. The "green rectangle" you refer to is actually white, until it is clicked. Then it turns green. Took me a little time looking for a green rectangle before finally figuring out you were referring to the white comment box.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
